added a custom touch to my keyfob

well i got bored today and decided that my keyfob was waay to scratched up and dull from years of use. and since i had the free time i went and sanded with 2000 grit till all the scratches where gone and it was a flat grey color, then 2 thiin coats of primer some paint and i still need to clear coat so it wont fade to quickly. hope it lasts couse i like the change from dull black.i might try experimenting with different colors and also do the key

Nice! I assume you took it apart to do that, was it hard? Mine is hella tore up! I was wanting to paint it silver or black.

yeah, this key remote is by far the easiest i've ever dealt with as far as taking apart, or replacing a battery for.

That's hella sweet man... If the paint ends up sticking, that's something I'm gonna have to do... I'm sick of the grey, scratched up key fob... only thing with the key is that it's gonna be hard with the acura emblem
